About This Study
This study is firstly designed to investigate acute and delayed effects of a single dose of ketamine on functional brain changes during emotional and cognitive challenges and at rest. Secondly, it aims to investigate whether functional brain changes after ketamine require increased glutamatergic signaling and will accordingly be modulated after pretreatment with lamotrigine.
